  1. Not an ALL new cast, but plenty of new characters. I think it's about a 50/50 split right now http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_Alpha#Characters ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_Fighter_III#Characters ?
  2. /facepalm. If Stevo has FTP access he can install everything and Deven just has to activate it and maybe configure it. REAL question is: Why the fuck is Deven the only one with admin access?

  4. REALLY? Well I'll be...I just might go to this.
  5. Not that I really want to get into this debate too much, but nerdcore is largely a group of untalented musicians trying to piggyback off the fame of a handful of actually talented artists by use of a buzz word. I have never seen or heard anything in "nerdcore" that I've truly thought was racist, because I've never believed satire of rap is satire of black people all together. and are proof positive that "rap culture" is not exclusively black.This song is about as racist of this picture: If this song is racist, than this song is the perfect counter argument:
  6. Ok guys. We all need to chill out. This year's FBRC was run just like every other one in the past, so I'm not sure why tensions are running so high this year. Somehow, I think a lot of you are missing the primary points about the challenge, so I want to go over them again: To show off your talents. By entering the challenge you accept that you're may be challenges to arrange a song that you might not be familiar with, that might stray away from your normal style, that you may not even like. By being able to complete the challenge you show that you are a flexible artist who can perform admirably under time constraints. To help get requests filled. There's a lot of people who'd love to hear a certain song remixed, and this challenge gives them a chance. It's by no means a promise their song will get remixed, or even accepted by the artist, but it is still a better chance than blindly posting it on the requests forums. Everyone gets more music. Whether your particularly request gets filled or not (mine didn't even get accepted), every year we still get at least a handful of mixers who turn out really good mixes. If your challenge didn't get accepted I apologize. I wish I could promise that every song that got requested would get a high quality remix delivered, but that's obviously not plausible. We do take a lot of time making sure that artists get songs that're roughy comparable to their skill level, and we try to make sure that every artist gets a sufficient amount of source material to work with, but that's all we can do. If you didn't finish your request I apologize to you as well. I'm not sure whether or not you knew what you were getting into, or maybe you just lost track of time. I completely understand if you just couldn't get a track done. This is a challenge after all, and as much as I'd love to see every artist finish their song, I can't say I expect it. What I don't want to see is a bunch of people getting all hostile toward one another in this thread. That's just completely unnecessary. We're all a bunch of nerds who like video game music, and not a single one of you should ever forget that <3. We're going to do it all again next year, so everyone will get another chance. In the meantime, just because you didn't finish your challenge on time, or as good as you'd like, doesn't mean you need to stop now! If you like your source, and you felt like you could get something done, keep at it! The person who requested it likely doesn't care WHEN it gets done so like as it DOES get done =P.
  7. Did you not read your email? Or catch starla on IRC at any time? I'm sorry if you felt that things weren't clear, but a simple glance at the email issuing your challenge should've cleared things up for you.
  8. Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. What're you talking about? When a mixer accepts their challenge, the challenge STARTS. There's no "hey you can start now" announcement. You start. All the mixers knew that when the accepted their challenges. It's also NOT our responsibility to handhold everyone on the deadline. The deadline never changed. It was always the same. Me and starla both work full-time jobs now and we don't exactly have the time to check up on EVERY mixer and remind them their's a challenge they need to finish. Especially when the majority of mixers never finish anyway. http://ocremix.org/forums/showpost.php?p=790848&postcount=55 Because starla updates the pages with the late entries. (as far as I recall) You should probably ask the people who entered that question. Though I'm sure having the thread moved to the competitions forum didn't help, but the participants should've all been subscribed to the thread anyway, so who knows.
  9. My point is you know your laptop isn't great. You know the game isn't going to run at full settings, or might have some hiccups on the lower settings. You have realistic expectations of what your laptop is capable of based on your experiences with it. You've seen the requirements for the game. It WILL run. Also: I didn't realize it was the GOTY addition. That $3 changes things. You'll probably have to eat off of the dollar menu for 2 days, or mow half of a lawn, or trade in a used game from 2008 at GameStop,
  10. The only thing you don't meet is the processor requirements. Your laptop sucks. You're going to play the game at lowest settings, but you'll make it through. It's $5. It's also a STEAM GAME. So you'll have it forever. I get the impression you play TF2 (frequently). You can handle Borderlands.
  11. Isn't it on sale for like $5? It's a really fricken goood game its well worth a $5 risk to see if it'll run. Skip on the value meal next time you go to Wendy's and just order off the dollar menu.
  12. MORE importantly. The post in question was here: http://www.capcom-unity.com/snow_infernus/blog/2011/08/23/new_song_from_mega_ran_-_pump_it_up_feat._warrock This song in question is being used, by Mega Ran, who is licensed to use Capcom's music commercially, to help fund a tour this summer with MC Chris, MC Lars, and Adam WarRock, because he's recently quit his job as a teacher to be a musician 100%. He's a super nice guy and a super talented artists and it's really nice of Capcom to help him out by making a blog post like this to help him get donations.
  13. They keep adding games and, as far as I've noticed, I can't get them on Steam after I've already redeemed my code? Edit: JK I just have to go to them all individually on Steam and add them EXCEPT Cortex Command, it seems
  14. It's called Spaceship Earth, people! Sheesh.
  15. So I don't know if you guys heard but Allison (the girl who does all the art for EC) tore a muscle in her shoulder and now needs surgery. They said if she doesn't receive the surgery that she may never do art again (which is extremely upsetting, having seen her deviantart page, as she is an extremely talented artist). Full explanation is here: Currently EC is raising money to help her pay for the surgery. James apparently already sold off a few things to raise about $3k, and now he's working with local indie developers to see if they can't come up with something. Updates, in order, are here: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=203962109649402&id=127295683982334 http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211370215574880&id=127295683982334 http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211375038907731&id=127295683982334 http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211378592240709&id=127295683982334 http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211380378907197&id=127295683982334 http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211381412240427&id=127295683982334 http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=211382252240343&id=127295683982334 They're also looking for guest artist *cough*Bean*cough* so anyone interest in that should also email them to help out per the updates above. I for one am sending her $100 right now, because it would break my heart to see someone as talented as her studented so early on in life. If I could never do art again, it would damn near literally kill me. Edit: Seems like they already made it, but that didn't stop me Edit 2: Ack. I accidentally..donated $200 because when I checked out it logged me out, so I went through the process again.
  16. WASN'T ME THIS TIME, I SWEAR! My request got rejected ;-;
  17. Meanwhile, elsewhere on the internet: Image in question: Might not be entirely relevant because he's it's kind of used in context, still interesting.
  18. Fill out the for, and I'll shoot you an email tomorrowish
  19. So, I'm just starting the Duke Burger level. To echo what just about everyone has said the Hive is pretty much the most forgettable thing I've experienced so far. The first "chapter" or whatever you want to call it, I think, came out the gates really strong. It was everything I could've hoped for in a Duke Nukem game. So absolutely ridiculous and over the top. Moving forward from that I'm still enjoying it, but I can definitely see how others aren't. It does feel very disjointed, which is a shame, because I feel like if they could tie together certain areas better it would have brought up the quality of the game as whole. Parts don't seem as polished as I would expect from a completed game. I'm going through it, and enjoying it, but it still feels...off. Is it fun? Yea. I'm enjoying it, anyway. Is it terrible? No, not by any means. Is it GREAT? No, it's not great, but it IS a undeniably a Duke Nukem game. In a good way. My one hope is that they used this game to make enough money, solely off hype alone, to fund a sequel that they could actually put time and effort into and make...well basically Bullet Storm with Duke Nukem, is what I'm expecting.
  20. hey, what? Thanks for letting me know, jerks. Now I already have plans ;-;
  21. From what I have read it isn't terrible, but not great either. It just is. I won't know until I get it later this week, but I have no reservations either way. I bought it based on nostalgia alone and I do not expect to be disappointed in that respect.
  22. After seeing what they did for StarFox 64 3D, this game disappoints me greatly. The game was good, but adding in 3D with minimal graphic enhancements is not going to sell it to me.
  23. you mean 1 of dem lady folk? well gawly
